He accepts us when are totally impure, transforms us into a pure being even without our knowledge. He converts us into a beautiful Rose and offers us unto the Lotus Feet of God!

Excerpts from a discourse by our Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji

 

'Deivam' (god) appears only to one who is a 'dharmătma' (the Righteous), has 'druda viswăsa' (unstinting faith) and is 'satyasanta' (Truthful) and not to one who does not possess these qualities.

 

World does not appear to one who sees God and the one who sees the world cannot see God. It is verily a bluff if one says that he sees both the world and God. This is because light and darkness cannot exist in the same place. Likewise, 'ajnana' (ignorance) and 'jnana' (Knowledge) cannot co-exist.

 

Thus, only if one is totally dispassionate and is of clean mind ('chitta shuddhi') does God appear before him. But, the Guru is not like this. We are scared to go near him because we possess such 'vikărăs' (wrong/bad thoughts) in our 'chitta' (mind). In spite of it, when we go to Him, the Guru pours loads and loads of affection on us.

 

He pours forth such compassion that we are deceived into believing that we have some good quality in us! He accepts us when are totally impure, transforms us into a pure being even without our knowledge. He converts us into a beautiful Rose and offers us unto the Lotus Feet of God!

 

Kabir, therefore, says, 'When I was totally impure, god did not turn towards me. God looks at me only after I attained 'jnana'. It was only the Guru who took me unto His fold even while I was not pure. Therefore, if the Guru and Govinda appear before me, it is Guru whom I would prostrate ignoring Govinda!'

(गुरु गोविंद दोनों खड़े, काके लागूं पाँय । बलिहारी गुरु आपनो, गोविंद दियो मिलाय ॥)

 

Kabir could speak thus because he attained a Guru through much trial and tribulation!

The devotees eagerly looked Sri Swamiji's face to see his reaction…………….It is said in the scriptures that the Jnani is never touched by the duality………
